“Walk on Water” is an Israeli film directed by Eytan Fox in 2006. The film centers on Eyal, an agent in Mossad. Eyal is a hit man paid to kill those who threaten Israel. Due to his wife’s recent passing due to suicide, the agency thinks he should take on less challenging assignments.
His next assignment is to find and kill a Nazi war criminal and get him “before God does”. In order to gain access to the Nazi’s whereabouts, Eyal posses as a tour guide for the Nazi’s adult grandchildren. As with many of these stories, Eyal truly befriends the grandchildren, Axel and Pia even though he has a job to do.
This film surprised me. The variation between languages was very interesting and easier to follow than one would think and helped make the story believable. It almost felt like a documentary with us following around this real life agent.
The acting was also very well done. There were plenty of moments were I felt emotionally attached to the characters instead of analyzing the film. It was very entertaining and wonderfully done.
